LISA KENNEDY MONTGOMERY (CO-HOST): How much of an impact would have in the Republican Party if Karen Handel wins?
TRISH REGAN (CO-HOST): Well if she wins I think everybody will go home, and sleep well, and they'll feel pretty good because it will be basically proof that Donald Trump still has a base that's following him. Donald Trump still has a base that cares. If she doesn't, it's a whole other game. I think it's going to be a massive wake-up call for all Republicans to say, "Listen, we need to get on board, we need to come together, because the only way to fight the [Democrats] is to actually do this with some unity.” I don't think it's going to come to that. I actually think when push comes to shove you're going to see a lot of people come out for her. I mean you consider the tragedy that just happened with Steve Scalise.
KENNEDY MONTGOMERY: Yeah, that's one of my questions. Is that a galvanizing factor because there was an outside group that used the shooting in a campaign ad.
REGAN: I know. You hate to see that right? I mean, you do hate to see them playing the politics of all that, but I think that there are a lot of people in this country right now that feel if they are a conservative, their back is up against the wall. And this election, they're using that, basically, as a proxy. In other words, you've got to go out and vote for Handel if you want the Republican Party to thrive for Donald Trump to still have a voice. So, push comes to shove, I think she gets it. But you're right, Anthony, they shouldn't be in this point to begin with.
